Ching Shih meets Christina Koch (Explorers)

For as long as we've told stories, we've told stories of swashbuckling heroes, usually men. Not anymore. Come with us as we explore the unparalleled career of 19th century female pirate Ching Shih and modern day astronaut Christina Koch.

Both of these women have pushed boundaries to excel in spheres almost always dominated by men. But most importantly, would you rather go to the loo on a pirate ship or a spaceship? Join us as we dissect the important stuff (and the toilet situation!)
